2023-01-13 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Playhouse, 1835 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Playhouse is launching into the new year with a comedy of one-up-womanship. It’s not often we see media centered around aging women anymore, but this play by David Lindsay-Abaire will give fans of classics like “Golden Girls” all the humor, sarcasm, and grit only women of a certain age can dish out.

“In 2019 Lamb’s had terrific response to our production of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ at the Avo Playhouse in Vista, so I added it to our 2020 Season in Coronado,” explained Producing Artistic Director Robert Smyth.
“But then Covid jumbled everything. We finally had a six month run of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ in 2022. In the meantime I wanted to follow that story of men who changed American music in the ‘50s, with something to feature some of the great women singers Lamb’s has worked with. So I asked Kerry Meads and Vanda Eggington, who had done such a great job developing the hits ‘Boomers” and ‘American Rhythm’ for Lamb’s, to tackle a production about the amazing women singers & songwriters of the ‘60s. And, now finally, the premiere of R-E-S-P-E-C-T!”

Breakthrough Workshop Theatre Staged Reading: "The Wizard of Oz"
2023-02-12 14:30 - 16:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents its staged reading of The Wizard of Oz, adapted by Erin Detrick from the book by L. Frank Baum, and directed by Ira Bauer-Spector.
When Dorothy finds herself in the Land of Oz, she knows she has to find a way back home to Kansas. Embarking on a funny and fast-paced journey, Dorothy meets new friends along the way, and together they travel down the yellow brick road to the fabled Emerald City to meet the Great Oz. This imaginative adaptation of The Wizard of Oz captures the heart of the beloved and classic tale, reminding us that the greatest breakthroughs can often be discovered within ourselves.
This “Breakthrough Workshop” (staged reading) is being presented free of charge for one performance only.
